“Having worked with Osimhen in the national Under-20 team that failed to qualify for the World Cup in 2017, I know he has the quality and ability to succeed in any league in the world. I have always known he will go places, so I am not surprised Napoli spent so much to get his signature,” Garba said.

Report: Conte could lose job because of Eriksen, ex-Spurs boss tipped as replacement – originally posted on Sportslens.com According to several reports from Italy (via football.italia), Inter Milan could have a new manager next season with former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino tipped to replace Antonio Conte. The Italian tactician isn’t happy with the club’s board despite finishing just a point behind Serie A winners Juventus. Conte feels Inter haven’t backed him enough, and the arrival of Denmark international Christian Eriksen from Tottenham in January is one of the reasons for his irritation. The midfielder moved to San Siro for £17 million during the winter transfer window after six-and-a-half seasons at North London, but Conte didn’t approve o...
The 2020 summer transfer window will allow clubs across Europe’s major leagues to conduct their business until the first weekend of October. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, a number of football leagues have been forced to prolong their 2019/2020 seasons such that they can complete their remaining fixtures. As a result, the start of the 2020/21 campaigns have been postponed and that has contributed to the diversion from the traditional summer transfer window dates. The Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga may have different opening dates for the transfer window, but October 5 has been set as the common deadline. Ligue 1 have yet to make an announcement. While new players can be registered by their respective clubs when the transfer window reopens, they will be ineligible to feat...
Juventus are still on course for this season’s Serie A title despite a blip in form, insists Adrien Rabiot, who says no “catastrophic” damage has been done. Maurizio Sarri’s side are currently sitting top of the Italian top-flight on 77 points, five ahead of second-placed Inter having played a game less. However, the Bianconeri have been fortunate to maintain their lead after a three-match winless run, which began with a 4-2 defeat against Milan at San Siro on July 7. Juve followed up that result with draws against Atalanta and Sassuolo, but Lazio failed to capitalise, losing their last three games to slip down to fourth in the standings. The reigning Italian champions are currently preparing to come up against Lazio in a crunch encounter at the Allianz Stadium on Monday, and Rabiot is con...
As Napoli close in on a deal for Victor Osimhen, it is claimed their other striking target was Lazio’s Ciro Immobile. Napoli officials are in Sardinia to finalise Osimhen’s transfer from Lille, which could cost as much as €81m. In the meantime, La Repubblica reports the Partenopei had also looked at Immobile. The hitman was born in Naples and his agent once said he could not turn down a move to his hometown club. However, Lazio owner Claudio Lotito had demanded no less than €50m for his No 9, which Aurelio De Laurentiis deemed too much for a player who turned 30 in February. Immobile is currently Capocannoniere in Serie A with 29 goals, but Osimhen is just 21 in comparison and ran out as Lille’s top scorer for 2019-20 with 13 strikes.

Getty Images Michel Platini has hailed Paulo Dybala for matching his Serie A stats with Juventus but considers him more ‘Maradona-esque’ than like him. Dybala now sits on 157 appearances and 68 goals for Juve in the top flight, putting him on par with the numbers Platini recorded between 1982 and 1987. “Avvocato [Gianni Agnelli] is no longer with us so I can’t make him say things he might not have, but yes… if he liked Sivori, I think he’d have appreciated Dybala greatly,” the Frenchman told Gazzetta dello Sport. “The Argentine’s very good on the pitch and he’s fresh-faced. He comes across as a likeable lad. “It’s interesting that he’s matched me for goals and appearances in Serie A. Figures are one thing, but we’re different players. “I always try to avoid comparisons, but I can say that ...
Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen is ready to join Serie A club Napoli. The 21-year-old visited Napoli’s training facilities, plus head coach Gennaro Gatusso and president Aurelio De Laurentiis two weeks ago. Osimhen was however not too keen on linking up with the Partenopei due to racism issue in Italy. The former VFL Wolfsburg striker spoke with Senegal forward Kalidou Koulibaly who reassured him there is no racism issue in Italy. According to multiple reports, Napoli director Cristiano Guintoli met Lille president Gerard Lopez and Osimhen’s intermediaries for more face-to-face negotiations on Monday. He hopes to sweep aside the remaining doubts and convince Osimhen that this is the best step in his career. The cost of the transfer will be in the region of €50m plus Adam Ounas, which will b...
Osinachi Ohale has appreciated Spanish side Club Deportivo (CD) Tacon ahead of a rumoured move to Serie A this summer. The Nigeria international spent the 2019-20 season at the Spanish Primera Iberdrola outfit and made 15 appearances, scoring twice in the process for David Aznar’s side since joining last September. Of her two goals, the first came in Tacon’s 5-1 thrashing of Toni Payne’s Sevilla on January 4 and the second in a 4-3 win over rivals Madrid CFF in a local derby in the capital four weeks later. And following the league cancellation in May, which saw her side finish 10th this season – with 23 points from 21 matches – the 28-year-old has thanked the entire club setup. “Hi everyone. It is time to announce that I will be leaving CD Tacon when my contract expires at the end of the ...
